Operating Instructions

The DT 770 Pro headphones are designed for straightforward operation in professional and personal audio setups.

  1. Audio Source Connection: Ensure your headphones are properly connected to your audio interface, mixing console, amplifier, or other audio source.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DT 770 Pro headphones.

  • Headband Care: Wipe the headband with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cable Care: The coiled cable is durable, but avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling. Store the cable neatly when not in use to prevent tangles and damage.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in the provided protective case to shield them from dust, moisture, and physical impact.
  • General Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the ear cups and other surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
